I turned off the trim against wall on the stairs. May be able to proceed from here.

Hmmm, created a new wall type by copying existing and renaming it interior wall 6" , then I created a new normal wall layer and named it normal wall stair. Turned off normal wall stair and have the stringer showing blocking the view. Tried to turn it off on the stringers, but it is already off.

Seems like a good idea. And I could keep the wall style pretty much the same, just copy and change the layer name.

No I can ctrl x and cut doors, etc but I can't cut a wall they are selected.

Ryan, Thanks for this. Only problem I am having is the CTRL+X of the walls. I select them with the shift key so that I get all 3 levels, but they won't cut so that I can paste them later. They can be deleted and that gives me a view to send to CAD detail, but the detail is deleted when I do CTRL+Z to undo everything. With CA being such an awesome software, seems like this should be so much easier.

Seems like I knew this, but now I don't. I want to see the flights that are hidden by the walls. I know I can make the walls invisible, but then i have to go back and change them back and remember to not refresh the view. Any suggestions?

Oh, didn't think of that. Thanks!

David is there a way to get it so I can edit the manufacture's door? I haven't been able to before but thought I would check to see if you found a way.

Thank you so much. I would prefer to keep working in x12 on this project until I build a bit more trust in x13.

Wonderful! Thanks, I will check it out.

Looks wonderful. looks like I need to move over to X13. I have it but have noticed it crashing and my work not being saved, so I move back to x12.

Hmm. not sure how that happened. I thought I only submitted it once. Sorry!

Anyone seen something like these available. The garage door is a Wayne Dalton, but not in their 2021 bonus library. Not sure about the entry door.

I know I ran across this before, but don't remember the fix. What do I need to do to make the layout elevations print darker? It is printing the elevations too light. . The floor plan does fine.

In my area at least, standard exterior doors and windows are measured to the center of the opening with the exception of the garage doors which are measured to the sides of the door. This is what I was hoping to automate, but I have a feeling something has to be set at the symbol level telling the software to dimension to the side. Foundations would dimension to the rough opening of the garage door. I have to do this manually now, not a big deal, but would be nice if it was automated.

Is there any way to automatically dimension garage doors to outside of doors while dimensioning other openings to center?

Nevermind.... Found it

Are they moved to another location?

I wasn't able to find a way to send the symbol. Will this .plan work with the railing in it.8 inch railing .plan 8 inch railing .plan 8 inch railing .plan

I will try to find the library symbol to send you.

it seems to be just a wall type I saved in the library. it is an 8" rail that I made with the correct size beam and posts. Weird I can't use it in 13x. I went trhough some other symbols and they opened fine, so I suspect it is just something that corrupted that symbol. I will redo it Hopefully the others all come across fine. Thanks for the insight!

It is trying to load a picture of the symbol in the 3d preview window and then crashes. I have a drawing someone shared with me in the latest version of home designer and can't open it in x12. Wish I could as working out these kinks is taking time. Any easy solutions? Thanks!

Ed, Thanks so much. Will the rest of the migration stay the same (libraries, layout template default, etc)?

Anyone know how to get my standard x12 toolbars to be set up in x13. It is really stripped down.
